Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi (Ojaja 11) has been commended for picking the gauntlet against divisive tendencies among the Yoruba traditional rulers in the last one year on the greatest stool of the race.

Speaker, State of Osun House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam made this assertion in a statement he personally issued recently.

Speaker Salaam asserted that Ooni Ogunwusi has shown the world that Yoruba nation is endowed with rich culture, value and moral fibers coupled with wise rulers, with the way the great King has conducted himself.

Speaker Salaam stressed that the state parliament under his watch was proud of the Arole Oodua and his relation with other natural rulers in the state and across the country.

“We, at the State of Osun House of Assembly are proud of Ooni Ogunwusi and his royal candor in relating with other traditional rulers in the state and across the country. We cannot agree more to his world view on unity and the leaders across board for the good of the nation”, Salaam reiterated.

The state parliament then congratulated the great monarch as he clocks a year on the revered stool, praying that Ooni Ogunwusi would live long in good health to attract prosperity.
